I think I understand what you mean: If there is a standard way of
loading a declared UI from a URI and bind to its parts, we needn't limit
the languages that we support. I.e. some extension point for pluging in
a new language and rendering engine, and a service for finding a
suitable for a particular resource/content type.

This reminds me of the Java standard for using Java-based scripting
language. Lots of scripting languages could be integrated into an
application by standard means. There was a snag though: If you often
couldn't access important engine objects at a fine enough granularity,
like scopes. But in general, being able to plug in new languages and
rendering engines could be a good thing.
